Wow! What a season. Never slowed down, and even picked up steam the last few episodes. Don't f*ck with the BOSS!

It was so final I was thinking that they couldn't do another season until they had the "Boss Season 2 in production for 2012" slide. I guess that tells us that Kane wasn't dying.

Who was the hired gun guy, the Chicago machine "Mike," getting his orders from? I assumed it was from Stoney doing the dirty work, but them either Stoney told him to take out Stoney or Mare Kane did. Being that Stoney was packing, it looks like he was high-tailing it. I guess the final sit down between Kane and Stoney was in Kane's delusional mind?

She was within a breath of spilling to Sam Miller. Dr. Ella is spilling.

Gonna be some badddddd stories about Kane in the Sentinel. I was wondering why they kept "Mike" off of Same Miller. Maybe now they won't.

Now Kane has to find new minions entirely. That's not going to be easy.

She really was upset from whoring herself out? I refuse to believe that was the first time.

I thought Kane had an apartment he really lived in. Was that her Dad's place?

We're supposed to think she didn't do anything? Stoney did it, unless she helped him get to the files. If she was innocent that Stoney wanted to take her out just as cover. They did ask Kane if he wanted her "found."

It was in his mind (IMO). That's why at the end they cut to Kane sitting in the room alone. To show you that he thought he had this conversation, and that's why he sent the hitman after him, to "clean up" the loose ends. He knew way too much about his evil doings to escape.

The producers probably wrote the ending so they could go either way if it got picked up or not.

I'm wondering if Season 2 is going to be centered on Kane's re-election campaign (who they will find to challenge him, tho)

Tough to say, going after newspaper/reporters isn't necessarily a net win. But there are other ways to "Get" the Sentinel that don't involve murder

Well "Phone Monkey" has an inside track. I think Kitty might end up on Zajac's Gubernatorial staff in Springfield, the question is whether she will go farther by blackmailing him with her pregnancy or not doing so. And/or whether she'll be a "mole" for Kane.

Maybe it was the first time she did it at Tom's "request".

I think that was their "official residence", Kane spent a couple of nights there in previous episodes

They are showing season one in two hour lumps starting Monday, Aug 13. Each evening of the week 7pm to 9pm on the East Coast feed I believe of StarzHD (so it might be 10pm to midnight on the actual East Coast) there will be a two hour airing. (i.e. Aug 13, ep 1 & 2, Aug 14 ep 3 & 4, etc).
